  • 1/2 cup corn meal
  • 1 1/2 cup a.p. flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup okra, minced
  • 1/4 cup onion, minced
  • 1 oil for frying

Method

  • Mix together all dry ingredients.
  • Add in 3/4 cup of water and stir until dough comes together and resembles bread dough adding more water if needed.
  • Careful not to overwork dough, fold in onion and okra.
  • Then separate dough into 4-6 equal amounts.
  • Form each portion into a ball with floured hands.
  • Then using a rolling pin roll each out to 1/4 inch thickness.
  • Poke a small hole in the center of each round.
  • (This will help the bread to stay flat while frying.)

  • Remove and place on a towel to cool and remove excess oil.
